      lfs find can search a Lustre target directly, instead of walking a mounted
      namespace. It reads the target's own objects through llapi_find_device(),
      which runs the same predicates as a walk (-uid, -mtime, -size,
      type, -projid and the rest) over llapi_scan_device() (LU-20606).
      Nothing needs to be mounted, and no client or MDS is used, so a snapshot or a
      failover partner's LUN can be searched like a serving target.

      Naming the target
      lfs find --device /dev/vdb -uid 1000 -mtime +30
      lfs find --target testfs-MDT0000 -type f -size +1G
      lfs find --fsname testfs --projid 1999
      lfs find --local -type f
      
      • --device DEVICE: a block device, disk image or snapshot. A block device
          given where a directory would be is also accepted.
      • --target NAME: a target mounted on this node, found through
          osd-*.NAME.mntdev.
      • --fsname FSNAME: this node's mounted targets of that filesystem.
      • --local: every MDT and OST mounted here; the MGS is skipped.
        --internal adds the objects the target keeps for itself.
          
        Where it runs

        On the node that holds the target. The scan backend is in the server package;
        on a client, llapi_find_device() fails with ENOTSUP and says why.

      Changes
      • 68157: split cb_find_init()'s decider out, so a record with no path can use it
      • 68158: share find's predicate parsing
      • 68159: llapi_find_device(), find over a device scan
      • 68160: lfs find over a target, with --device
